2013 MLB Draft Results: Experts Weigh In on Day 2 Action

Although the event doesn't have the same amount of cache as drafts in other sports, there are plenty of reasons to watch, especially in the later rounds. With the sheer amount of picks in the draft, there are bound to be some great players who slip down the draft.

Mike Piazza was taken in the 62nd round of the 1988 draft. Talk about value. More recently, Albert Pujols went in the 13th round of the 1999 draft.

If you watched the draft, chances are you witnessed the selection of a possible MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year or Hall of Famer.
